CARL Baker looks on course to make a clean sweep of the player-of-the-year awards to back up a stat-tastic season.

The Coventry City skipper has already won the vote from the Coventry, London, South Wales and Irish supporters’ clubs and the Former Players’ Association.

He has to be hot favourite for the club’s official title, as voted for by the fans, at this Saturday’s official club presentation, where he is also set to get the ‘golden boot’ for top goalscorer, with David McGoldrick not being included in the running.

The captain also tops the charts for every meaningful statistic – proving his effectiveness on the pitch for City.

“I’m delighted to be honest and would have been over the moon even if I won only one award,” said Baker, who admits he’d give up all the accolades coming his way in exchange for promotion.

“At the start of the season I set myself targets and to get the rewards like this is the best feeling ever so I am delighted with the awards.

"It’s nice to know you’ve been doing something right but, hand on heart, I’d have preferred to have only played a couple of games and not scored a goal and for us to get promoted.”

Aside from McGoldrick, Baker has been arguably City’s stand-out player of the campaign which the official Football League stats confirm.

Going into Saturday’s game with Leyton Orient the 30-year-old was Coventry’s player with the most shots (89) and consequently most shots on target (57) and most off (32); most assists (8); most crosses (128); most free kicks won (49) and most fouls conceded (59) proving his commitment to the cause.

Having said all that, Baker insists: “There are still things I want to improve on because as a footballer you are never happy.

“I can improve on the number of fouls conceded and, ideally, I wouldn’t be in the shots off target column. I look at the stats every week and think I am way ahead on crosses I put in as well so I am pleased with that, but when I look back at games I want to be keeping the ball a bit better. I also want to get a lot fitter and stronger.

“This season has gone really well for me and I have played a load of games and scored a lot of goals so I am really happy about that because at the beginning of the season that’s exactly what I wanted to do.

“So I have achieved my goals but as a player you always want to get better and better and I’ll go away in the summer and look at the games this season and hopefully come back stronger and fitter and hopefully do the same next year.”

He added: “Sometimes going through the summer it’s difficult to stay fit and hungry for it but because I am so excited about next season that’s going to help.

“I will be going away after the weekend and normally I just want a holiday and a break but this is the first season to be honest I am going away and thinking I can’t wait to get back in.

"And I am going to make sure I keep myself fit and do extra in the summer to make sure I come back and hit the ground running.”
